Statting Up Worm Characters

[Taran]

I've been trying to avoid this thread because of the spoilers.  Ironically, I stalled on reading worm but one of your spoilers made me pick it up again.  I Just got started Extinction.

And I wonder why I can't get stuff done around the house...

[narphoenix]

Hey Sancta. I think you underestimated Taylor's Presence.

[Hick Jr]

Well...I...well.

just...just go read the update.


i'm just going to go sit in the corner for a bit and, and just

nobody talk to me

[narphoenix]

She...she...

Holy. Shit. Fuck. Oh. Fuckfuckfuck. Shit. Shit.

That's. But. But that's. G-

Shit.

[Taran]

She...she...

Holy. Shit. Fuck. Oh. Fuckfuckfuck. Shit. Shit.

That's. But. But that's. G-

Shit.

Now you guys are just fucking with me

No, Wildbow was fucking with us.. especially Oliver (epic trolling or magnificent bastarding, I can't decide if he planned that from the beginning or did it to troll with the commenters)
Or the Simurgh is (also extra points for the hammiest death scene xD).

Actually, because this thread has been slowing down a bit, fun thing- Which cape's powers would you want? Or what powers would you want unattached to an existing cape? Mine goes, in order, Contessa, Eidolon, Glaistig Uaine, Number Man, Siberian, Crawler, Cherish, Dragon, Lung, Marquis, Panacea, Vista, and Genesis. If I had to pick a non-canon power, electromagnetokinesis and electromagnetovoyance would be the ones.

Panacea, Phir'Se, Dragon, Number Man, Genesis, Contessa, Tattletale, THE clairvoyant, caretaker,  ... ... ... Oliver xD

I didn't expect Crawler and Marquis on your (or any for that matter) list, irreversible turning into a monster and boneshattering pain does not strike me as ..that desireable^^.

No, we're not. Trust me, WE'RE NOT.

[Sanctaphrax]

They are not.

Hey Sancta. I think you underestimated Taylor's Presence.

Any particular reason?

Panacea, Phir'Se, Dragon, Number Man, Genesis, Contessa, Tattletale, THE clairvoyant, caretaker,  ... ... ... Oliver xD

Well, Marquis is pretty powerful. And Crawler's power would be great in moderation...never get sick, never get old, fear no injury, get a variety of minor physical upgrades.

I'm surprised that Oliver's power is so far down your list. Trickster makes it sound pretty good, even if it doesn't fix Oliver's psychological issues:

Oliver was taller than him, now.  The baby fat was gone, and he was fit.  Krouse had wondered at times why Chris had been so attractive to the ladies.  He didn’t wonder with Oliver.  Oliver was attractive in a way that meant he could model, he was naturally athletic, he was even smart.  It was scary how fast he was picking up new skills.

@Sancta: Yes. She's specified to be a good leader. Accord notes it, the Chicago wards listen to her despite the fact that she was just a villain not two arcs ago, that stunt she pulled at the school required quite a bit of leadership...

[Sanctaphrax]

Good point.

Not sure which skill to drop to increase Presence. Lore? Craftsmanship? Athletics?

[narphoenix]

I'd make Craftsmanship Fair (I think the fact that her suits take time is her maneuvering to make them higher quality), Investigation Average, (we don't see her Investigate all that often) and bump Presence to Good (she definitely has a rep and absolutely knows how to use it, she makes people listen to her, hell, she managed to keep her cool and /demolish/ Emma and then later Dragon and Defiant in social combat, and that needs a defense of some sort).

Of course, we're talking Scuba Diving (accurate) Taylor here.

[Hick Jr]

Given that her shard is for Administration in the same way Jack's is for Communication, I'd give her a stunt replacing Presence with Discipline when dealing with parahumans.

I'd disagree. The stunt at the school was her commanding straights. Her control over the people in her territory (not to mention her workers) required leadership of nonparahumans.

Sounds like a plan to me.

[Sanctaphrax]

Touched up the powers and posted them to the appropriate thread over on the Resources board.

Tank now counts the Catch, and Projection's skill pyramid stuff now makes a bit more sense.

Will revise Manton and Taylor eventually. Also will post Defiant and Shatterbird, when inspiration strikes.
